For Immediate Release
Carleton College comfortably houses and feeds a bit over 1,300 students, but
once a year - for a single day - it is faced with the problem of cramming nearly
twice that number of people into its classrooms, and dining rooms - and even into
its dormitories for visiting if not for sleeping.
The occasion is the College's annual Parents' Day, planned this year for
Saturday, October 30, and the responsibility for resolving this crowd-problem is
that of two juniors who have been selected general co-chairman of the Parents'
Day Committee,
The co-chairmen are Miss Susan Palmer, Claremont, California, and Robert
Lange, Hinsdale, Illinois, and they already have reservations to "graciously feed
and entertain 1,200 assorted parents, grandparents and small brothers and sisters."
In fact, Miss Palmer and Mr, Lange are looking forward with considerable
enthusiasm to a program which has necessitated a highly complex and specific set
of plans so that it "comes off without a hitch."
Parents from Maine to California are expected, so the "day" will have to
start on Friday afternoon with "considerable early registration promised." In fact,
numerous students are renting rooms throughout Northfield, for spending a day at
Carleton for many parents means two additional days traveling, and two nights in
"town."
With advance reservations in, registration will continue all day Saturday
morning, at a battery of desks where visiting parents are required to find only
the proper letter of the alphabet to sign up, collect the tickets for necessary
events, and perhaps meet their daughter or son hosts,
